Our ancestral lands hold deep cultural and historical significance, and our voices must be represented in decisions affecting them. Recognition of Historical and Cultural Contributions: We seek formal acknowledgment of our historical and cultural heritage in areas already developed without considering the rich ancestral history they embody. This recognition is essential for preserving and honoring our people's legacy. We trust that these goals will foster greater collaboration, respect, and awareness of Indigenous communities' invaluable contributions and significance in shaping the history and future of Alamance, Caswell, and Orange Counties. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/inclusion-of-indigenous-people-in-the-city-of-mebane-plans
